It is with a very heavy heart that I write that our Matriarch, Brown Hills Jell-O TC, HIC, OFA (Peyton) went to the Rainbow bridge today. She could no longer walk, and started to refuse food and water so I knew that she was telling me it was time. I am so grateful for the 12 + years that she has been my wonderful companion, pillow, and mother, grand-mother and great-grandmother to some of the most wonderful gsd's on the planet. I know she was met at the bridge by her son, Gadget, and they are now romping together as they used to do in my backyard. Rest well Peyton - we will play again someday. I miss her so much already.
